Open enrollment for 2019 health insurance coverage is now underway. Residents have until December 15 to enroll in a plan through the federal Marketplace at HealthCare.gov.
The Indiana Department of Insurance is encouraging Hoosiers to review their current coverage and check to see what else is available. Those already enrolled in a Marketplace plan are asked to make sure their income and household-member information is up-to-date. If you like the plan you currently have, you will automatically be enrolled in the same plan or a similar one, according to the Department of Insurance.
A big change for 2019 is that there will no longer be a penalty for not having major medical health insurance. Additionally, the Department of Insurance says there are more direct enrollment options. That means you might be able to sign up directly on an insurance company’s website, without visiting HealthCare.gov.
